I was a bit worried about this earlier, that's why I asked about killing you guys and taking your stuff.

I thought it was a good game, and had the potential to be better at the cost of more work for the Mods. And I agree with a bunch of the new ideas posted earlier.

Thanks for trying out new stuff, Muz and Zandra, it was fun.

I agree, there just wasnt "enough to do" Just pop in, look at your cities, vote, and that was it.
To be honest, I kind of liked the more hands off aspect of this. Since a lot of times I'm playing at work, it was nice to have a game that did not require constant attention and reading tons of posts.

That being said, I think there is certainly room for more interactivity. Maybe make us roll our own odds somehow (like each pick a number, and those addded together = if we get bit/die/kill etc).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-game-BrAIIIINNNNNSSSS-23352793 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 08:40:40 EDT Re: [game] BrAIIIINNNNNSSSS! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-game-BrAIIIINNNNNSSSS-23352581 --

Both Muz and I had some unforseen real life things come up that made it hard to do the everyday things. During the process of these days though, we took some amazing notes about ways to make this easier and more interactive.

But please, keep spilling out ideas for the next one.

I'm sure Muz and I will have it out after the new year. :)

I know I'll have some more time then.

1) Travel Flexibility. Agreed. I would say you get X amount of miles to go. I also like the option of giving the groups the option to camp outside of a city instead of inside the city.

2) I love the larger the city, the larger the risk of getting attacked. Also a larger risk of finding more stuff.

3) I thought about the whole private forums for each group. I will definetly take you up on that.

How did everyone feel about the real night/day times? Would it be better if we voted for night?
I think the call of night at a specific time was good.

@muz/Zandra: I thought the game went great, and agree with the suggestions above. Another thought is to have people in game that aren't necessarily out to help everyone else. Arch, Rocky, and I (drew didn't agree, and it turns out he was right) were sure Dez was a bad guy right out of the gate, and planned to hide our location and lie about it until we met up with Team 1 and were able to PM them about our theory. Then we'd both team up and lie about location to throw Dez off. Once you started posting our PM'd destination choices, that went out the window and we just figured Dez was a sentient zombie.... ;)

But the idea of having zombies to contend with, plus others who you are unsure of their allegiance, might make it even more interesting. Just more difficult to mod. Like one team be a group of bandits (think Mad Max) who would, upon meeting up with another team, kill them all and take their stuff. I don't know. Or someone on a team who has a secret mission to take on. Or someone goes nuts. Or throw Jim in the game even though he didn't sign up. Just some thoughts.

A suggestion for all. Try not to run too many games at the same time. I think there should never be more than two games active at one point and the second game should only be starting up when the first game is down to the wire.

it was fun while it lasted, I definatly want to be a part of the next game. either as a player or someone to help out.

From my notes :)

More travel Flexibility: Maybe give a radius we can travel, instead of just two points

Population multipliers: going to L.A. should have a higher risk of being bitten than say, Bucksnort, TN :)

Better intergroup communcation: PM's are tedious, and having everyone talk in the same thread about their groups destination was sometimes confusing to me. I think a Private forum for each group to be used alongside this public thread would have worked better (and I'm willing to provide them, just FYI for next game :) )

Official map: My map helped, but it could have been done better by someone in a moderators capacity, with the mods updating inventory counts on available equipment as we go and such.
